Agreeable and even pretty blend of spices, but on a watery base that does not give them the warmth that would make this a great fragrance

My Grandma used to cleanse her hair with bay rum. When she went into a home, the carers didn’t know what it was.

I have not had any experience with other Bay Rum fragrances to give a comparison, but what I can say is ‘WOW’. If this is what men of my great grandpa’s era smelled of leaving the barbershop, then I need a time travel machine!
As usual, Olympic Orchids does not disappoint. The fine balance of bay, forest,& cinnamon/cloves is gently sweet and gorgeously spicy-aromatic. I could smell this in candles, bath salts, soap, and wax melts and not tire of it for days on end. In other words, wonderful…..
And oh-so manly in the best domestic, friendly, yet virile sort of way. THAT good!

Bay Rum by Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes- I liked this one. Cloves stands out strongly in this as well as Cinnamon, Allspice, Bay and Rum. The other notes linger faintly with the resins keeping the aroma moist and damp. This is an Autumn fragrance and did not feel right in this month of July. It was all wrong for summer, but come Autumn this will be fantastic. It’s also a great Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday fragrance, But it will be having intense competition with Mum’s and Grand Ma-mah’s cooking and no one will notice that you are wearing it, they’ll think they are smelling the cooking instead of your fragrance. This is a very Gourmand perfume, for you foodie fragrance fans. The rum boozes this up and adds a party note to the sweet, dessert-like fragrance. Longevity was 12 hours, Sillage was medium. Season is strictly Autumn. I approve of this one, great fragrance, warm and spicy. Applause for Bay Rum. Thank you Moonsparrow.

Why do people dislike this? It’s amazing!
It’s warm, deep, spicy and aromatic with a boozy, honeyed feel. I detect bay and laurel, rum and cinnamon. Cloves are quite present, and also this honey like sweetness. What’s not to like?
This scent conjures up pictures of Haiti, voodoo rituals, caribbean islands and powerful priestesses in my head. I picture Tia Dalma (Pirates of the Caribbean) wearing something like this. It’s a mighty, mysterious and witchy kind of smell. Feels quite intoxicating.
The sillage is medium to strong, depending on how much you spray on. And longevity is very good, about 8-10 hours on my skin.
So full bottle worthy! I’ll probably get a 30ml of this during the upcoming month. 🙂

This burns my skin, so beware, the spice in this is strong.

I bought a discovery set of OO perfumes but unfortunately they all start to smell alike in some ways after trying a few of them.
Anyway, this starts up extremely sweet, warm, spicy, mildly boozy and strong. A strange menthol-like medicinal note also screams in every direction. Peppery spice drapes a gossamer veil over the overpowering sweetness. There is an extremely green note in there as well, probably the bay leaves or laurels.
The dry down is ambery, sweet, oddly synthetic.
No thank you.

Well, all I can say from my sample is this: if you liked Royall Bay Rhum but found it a bit fleeting with weak staying power, then you’d love OO Bay Rum. This is a delightfully simple and fresh bay leaf based fragrance with a nice semi-sweet floral rum and clove quality about it.
Someone said it smells like cheap rum… and I could see that it might make that fleeting impression if there was no cloves. But honestly, your mind can tie in associations from distant memories to distort what you experience. You need to let fragrances like these macerate with your olfactory palate. Only then can you get a TRUE and useful impression of them.

Oh mes aïeux, c’est monstrueux. Je ne sais même pas rester à côté de l’échantillon papier tellement c’est répulsif. Je crois être quelqu’un de très ouvert sur les expériences olfactives les plus insupportables pour la majorité mais la c’est inimaginable.
On dirait l’odeur de plantes qu’on aurait laissées moisir des semaines dans un tonneau puis recouvert d’alcool de pharmacie. Une sorte de moisisure végétale macérée, un Jagermeister expérimental à partir de déchet de jardin et de clou de girofle.
Oh my ancestors, it is monstrous. I can not even stand next to the sample paper so it is repellent. I think I am very open on the most unbearable olfactory experiences but this is unimaginable.
Looks like the smell of rotting plants that have left behind for weeks in a barrel and covered with pharmaceutical alcohol . A kind of vegetable moisisure macerated, an experimental Jagermeister made from garden waste and clove .
I have to say that it’s verry well composed, super long lasting and with a good sillage, but I’ll kill you if you get closer.

This one is not for me. It smels like I put my hand in a barrel of cheap rum. and what I detect more are spices I use to make a stew.
And the worse part is I can’t wash it off, it lasts and lasts

I love this while it lasts. The opening is sweet and spicy as described in the notes. The clove (not pictured above) and allspice are strong with cinnamon and bay in supporting roles. It’s all tied together with the sweet rum. For me they combine to make this delicious prickly, savory smell that I love. It’s not quite butterscotch, but it’s something in that neighborhood. I even imagine a whiff of butterfat sometimes, or maybe even popcorn.
Unfortunately, that intense part goes away within an hour or two. I’m sniffing my wrist now after 4 hours, and it’s just barely there. It does seem to stick around a little better on my shirt though.

Opens with quite strong bay leaf, sweet rum, and very heavily on the clove. Cinnamon is also clearly noted in the opening; and the cinnamon goes on to endure as one of the showcase notes in this fragrance throughout its entire wear time so users will need to love cinnamon to appreciate this fragrance for its full potential. The clove note fades after some time to become unnoticeable, while light citruses, predominantly orange, rise to give the fragrance a welcome lift. I also get a resinous, woody note, thats light and fresh – it reminds me of pine wood or resin. Light spices linger in the drydown, and I get a hint of neroli from time to time – its delightful! Overall its predominantly a bay and cinnamon fragrance with spices on light citrus and light woods.
I wouldn’t describe this perfume as bold. For me at least its got a nostalgic, sweet christmassy feeling that reminds me of my nannas kitchen and bakehouses at christmas time – cinnamon, clove, orange, spices, the warmth of the rum, and heavy use of bay leaves. Its sweet, and spicey, but in a way that warms my heart and takes me right back to that time as a child. I personally love it!
